The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1568

It's all about keeping the bond tight.

If Felicity could marry into the Lopez family, it'd be like adding cream to the pie!

Besides, who hasn't had their fair share of highs and lows in love during their youth? Everett figured his son chasing after Felicity to Anglonia, wooing her with sweet nothings and a bit of a pity party, wasn't really a big deal.

After all, if he and Dorothy could make it work, then Jeffrey and Karen have been going strong for half their lives!

Fate has its ways.

But, if his son didn't chase after her, that would be a different story altogether!

Jeffrey, especially when it came to his daughter, wasn't one to take things lightly. He took a deep breath and said, “Everett, let me make myself clear! If Felicity remains uninterested, and she finds someone else she likes, you better not interfere and try to snag her for your son!”

Was he afraid of Langston?

At the end of the day, he was the elder, and Langston had always been a respectful and well-mannered kid.

But Everett was a different story!

With his influence and the favors he owed, it was a tricky situation.

“Relax, I've only ever fought for Dorothy, and I won't fight for anyone else.”

“…”

After Jeffrey left, Dorothy was understandably worried, pacing around the room, contemplating calling her son.

Everett stopped her, “Do you want Langston to come back?”

“I just don't want Jeffrey to worry so much! His daughter, who he's doted on from a young age, is upset. Wouldn't he be heartbroken? And here you are, using past events as leverage.”

“When necessary, one must use necessary means! You didn't see how lost Langston looked when he couldn't reach Felicity. Clearly, Felicity has feelings for him, and he for her. They're just going through a rough patch. Do you really want them to miss out on each other?”

Dorothy, of course, didn't want that.

But having watched Felicity grow up, she viewed her as her own daughter. Ultimately, it was Langston who had messed up first by upsetting Esther, and she feared it might end badly for everyone involved.

“You have to trust Langston to know his limits.”

“Sigh.” Dorothy didn’t know what else to say.

Gone!

Miles was no longer there!

She had guessed he would leave!

Slipping into her slippers, Felicity found Calvin had simply crashed on the couch.

Hearing her, he immediately opened his eyes and sat up, still groggy, asking urgently, “What’s wrong? Feeling sick again?”

Calvin stretched his long legs, reaching her in a few strides to check her forehead, “All good, no fever.”

“I just felt a bit stuffy and wanted to watch a movie in the living room. I wasn’t really feverish.” Felicity raised an eyebrow, “Why didn’t you go back to your room? Why crash on the couch?”

“Well, I was worried you’d get sick again! What if I was in my room and didn’t hear your call for help?”

“…” She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t moved. Calvin had been her savior today; without him, who knows how bad it might have gotten! “Go back and get some proper rest. I’m fine now.”

Calvin waved off her concern, his smile revealing dimples, “Weren’t you going to watch a movie? I’ll keep you company.”
